Wouldn't using a class variable reduce global namespace pollution? Not
that it matters that much as a temporary measure.

Anyway. It works, except that menus don't disappear when you click on
some other thing elsewhere in the window/desktop, since I've removed
the code which hides the submenu on deselection. (Submenus are removed
when you click on either a different menu entry, or click a second
time on the same submenu entry.)

Any ideas as to the cleanest way round this? I could use a GdkEvent to
detect any mouse click + delete the menus if it's outside the
currently visible ones, but that seems a bit of a hack.

(I'm just finding my way around the gtk code, so forgive me if I'm
missing something obvious...this particular 'featurette' seemed like a
reasonable place to start!)

cheers,

Phil
